just so you know, Malt Miller are now selling these. The basic kit is £100, plus £45 for the pressure kit. I think this is quite a bit more expensive than buying in the home country, but then they've shipped it round the world!

Hi, can't get a pic right now, but its a stainless steel butterfly valve (sanitary) all parts accessed by oxi if cleaning. I can't believe how well everything is made and designed for the money, actually. Its basically a giant pop bottle, but its seems pretty solid (not rock solid, just not really thin). I filled it with water to the 30 L line, and its easy to carry on the stand and lift into the fridge (not sure if you should, but it was easy anyway) far easier than lifting 23L in a bucket, by miles. The float / pressure system is really solid, draws from 1" below the surface, right down to the last drop and the valve is really solid at the base.

I may start another thread on my first brew, or add to this one, but could be a couple of weeks yet as I need to finish some brewery upgrades (new pump, fridge etc).

Super sounds the business. Love the way it takes pressure also so you can pressure fill a corny so no oxygenation issues also and everything else. I'm also trying to finish new build and I have allready hit the spend limit so if I buy this it will be "all picture no sound for me"! Ladies never understand the benefits of these things

I hear ye. My better half went back to the mothership for a weekend and all looked ok when she came home. Untill she ventured behind the garage and seen the porta-cabin i had bought for brewing.....is a fridge realy a big deal ! he who dares. Xmas coming up handy to have extra fridge for storing food !

How is this going? Have you any follow up images of the fermentation? I STILL haven't gotten around to using mine, had some stuff to deal with and still not able to extend my fridge! Frustrating, but the wait should be worth it.

Didn't think there was Intarest so stopped. Ye it's working perfect so far. I have weissbock in it at the moment. There was an issue with the gas connection it like it's a tiny bit too long. I tried new gas connection but would not fit and two old one but a third did fit. Not sure if this is manufacturing defect.

The collection bottle is squeezeable so it's hand to agitate the yeast a little.

Nothing leaks and being able to take a sample beer from beer out connection without fear of leaks and infection is super. I have ordered a spunding valve so I can transfare to keg without O2 pickup.

Angel hardware has all the extras for this fermenter that malt Miller had not like the spunding valve. As in previous pics it fits nicely in fridge if you cut piece of the support frame. I'm delighted with and looking for another. Selling 3 fast fermenters so hope to pay for it with that sale.

The ability to see into it is great also. Delighted so far. I'm not sure if I would carbonate the beer in it as i always taught the co2 from fermentation scrubs any sulphur ect from the beer so to carb in there will keep the sulphur ect in the beer but not sure maybe someone else weight in

Bottle is squeezable but most important no leaks from seal. As a man I did not feel like I needed to read the assembly instructions and took minute or two to figure out that there is a left hand thread in connection so as you remove the bottle it does not loosen the assembly to main conicle very clever idea. They have spent allot time getting this right and it's great bit engineering. Ticks all the boxes.
